Grafton Banks Finance Ltd

"Claire gave a very personal service, and was able to arrange a meeting in person the day before my first interview. This settled nerves and gave me interview practice. Claire also provided me with lots of information about the company, allowing me to impress the following day.
I had initially applied for a different job through Grafton Banks. However, Claire felt I would be more suitable for another position. It was a much closer commute, and actually reflected my needs much greater. As discussed above, Claire was always available, making time to meet with her the day before the primary interview. After each interview, she was interested to hear how every aspect of the interview had gone, and called me back straight away with news from the employer.
In the appointment I had with Claire, we spoke for an extended period about any queries I had. I was new to accountancy, and having just come from University, interviewing for a junior accountancy role seemed daunting. Claire talked me through some of the basics of accountancy as well as interview techniques, allowing me to feel more confident and prepared.
I am pleased to say that the interview, my first, was successful. Thanks, in the most part, to Claire for her helpful tips and advice.
Five weeks in, I'm enjoyed my new job. I was most fortunate to have come in contact with Grafton Banks Finance. 25th October 2013."

"Claire at Grafton Banks Finance took several opportunities to ask me a number of questions to fully understand my level of experience, and what I was hoping to achieve, and I always had the feeling she was carefully listening to my responses, and weighing up the kind of roles that would be a suitable, long-term match for me. The roles put before me were always relevant in all respects, including reflecting my existing skills and abilities, future prospects, travel, etc.
I was particularly impressed that the consultant diarised the gist of an early conversation, and accordingly proactively contacted me via social media to check on my situation, and that she took the time to email and call me at all stages of the recruitment process, including after recruitment. She also gave me plenty of quality time in our face-to-face meeting, to the extent that she actually helped to influence my decision-making.
It was clear from the start that I could rely on her to give me a considered and intelligent answer if I had any questions about the prospective employer, and also a constructive and assertive response if I did need any help with issues once the selection process was underway.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Grafton Banks Finance to both prospective practice employees, and practice owners / business owners with suitable recruitment needs."
